Returning Undergraduate Housing Selection Process

1. Complete the Housing Application Agreement

To complete the housing application agreement

1. Login into your eRezLife account.
2. All housing application forms are available under the Housing Overview tab. You will also have a recommended action to ‘apply for housing’ that will take you to the housing overview. Click this link!
3. Click the Apply Now button beside the housing you wish to apply.
   • Please Note: All students will be completing the new applicant housing agreement
     application.
4. Complete all questions on the housing agreement application. Mandatory questions on
   the application are marked with a red asterisk mark (*). After completing your application form, click “Save” to save your data, or click “Save and continue” to continue with your housing application process.
5. On the Confirm Application page, carefully review your application details and check
   off the three terms listed indicating that you understand and agree with all statements.
   • Once your application has successfully been completed, you will see the confirmation
     message along with your receipt number. A copy of the receipt will also be sent to your Trinity email address.
   • Your application and application status can now be reviewed under the Housing Overview

2. Requesting Roommates (If Applicable)

1. Go to Roommate Groups on the drop-down menu once you have submitted
   your application
2. If you have a roommate group pending, you can accept the invitation. There
   will be green check marks next to each person’s name
3. If you do not have an invitation waiting for you, select Create new roommate
   group.
   • Enter a group name and provide potential roommate’s email (You can
     only add a roommate who has completed the housing application).
   • The potential roommate will receive an email invitation to be your roommate and will be viewable in their Roommate Group‘s section in eRezLife. They will have
     to accept the invitation as outlined above.
4. Once completed, your roommate group should appear under Roommate Groups with green checks next to their name.
5. Note: Only one of you creates a roommate group. The other accepts the invite.
   If you both create a roommate group, the accounts will not be linked and the
   request will not be granted.

3. Preview Rooms Ahead of Time

Prior to entering the Room Selection Process, you will be able to preview rooms under
the Housing Overview page.

1.  You may search for specific rooms. Vacant rooms are indicated by an icon of a bed, and rooms that are unavailable to you are indicated by the icon of a bed with a red circle and line over it.
   • This also tells you how many people are needed in a group in order to be qualified for this space.
2. You can search by building and floors for your rooms through the search on the left side of the page.
3. If you find a room that you like, you can click the star icon beside the room to add it to your Favorites.
   • It is highly recommended to have at least 10 options in your favorites. Rooms go quickly! Have backup plans in place. This will make the process a lot less stressful when the time comes.
   • On the left side of the page, you can also click Only show my favorites so that your page becomes less cluttered and easier to select when the process begins.

3. Entering the Housing Selection Process 

1. Once you are eligible to enter the Housing Selection Process, you will see a ‘Browse
   Rooms‘ button at the top of the Housing Overview page. Click this to begin.
2. This is where you can set to Only show my favorites, or search buildings and rooms to find the space you want.
3. Click the bed icon to select your room. You will not be able to select any unavailable
   rooms. So if a room you selected into your favorites earlier is no longer there, it means it is no longer vacant.
4. A dialog window will appear with details of the selected room. Click the ‘choose this
   bed‘ button.
5. Review the details of your room reservation. Click on ‘Assign me now‘ to confirm your
   assignment. If you are living alone, you have completed selecting your housing assignment.
   • If you have a roommate group, you can also pull them in and “place your roommates nearby” for them to be in your space.
   • You then have the option to move roommates into different beds by selecting ‘reassign beds‘. Once you complete assigning beds, you have completed selecting your housing assignment.
